Go“back”in time
Is there a way to quickly recall(回忆)information just before taking an exam? Walking backwards might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their shortterm memory.
Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were split(分成)into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backwards. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.
The scientists found that the backwardwalking group got two more answers correct than the other two groups.
This suggests that the link between the concepts(概念)of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed via(通过)space,” Aleksandra, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backwards, you see things from a different angle(角度)compared to walking forward, This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.
And walking backwards is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backwards is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backwards uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories(卡路里).
In addition, walking backwards is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backwards also keeps our spines(脊柱)strong, which can help to ease(缓解)pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backwards.
